New Sparta

New Sparta is the economic and financial capital of the Phoenix Milita. It also serves as both the county seat of Rockshore county and the capital of Washegon Territory and one of the largest cities on the West coast of TPM's mainland. New Sparta is built on a semi-mountainous terrain that tapers off into a rolling coastal plain. A 2 mile long beach and coastline borders the city to the west and Spartan Rock to the northeast. The city's borders encompass approximately 72 square miles, but the city has expanded its limits twice in its history so far. New Sparta is the first planned city designed, constructed, and completely financed by Phoenix Dynamix. Construction began in late 2003 and was finished in 2006. Both elevated and sub surface road and railways allow for easy movement into out of and through the city. A series of aqueducts criss cross the city and intermingle with the elevated roadways and train lines. Also, there are 4 beautifully landscaped parks dotting the four corners of the downtown area. Shortly after the city was completed, the population quickly bloated beyond the original scope. A number of office buildings were converted into housing, but eventually even this measure proved ineffective and city officials finally persuaded the federal government to authorize an expansion of borders and new construction. The city is characterized by numerous and beautiful skyscrapers and towers of its downtown, and the modern style but significantly diverse apartment complexes and retail stores. The city also has a major sea port which is being renovated and expanded, but at this time there is only a small regional airport serving it.
